Bro Ashwin,I have tried cheato but doesn't seem to grow well in my refugium. That's why I'm thinking to try others.

i Think Cheato is easy..hmm bro what lighting? No3 level?..Light Duration?

I tell u nitrate at 40 u already "Wow". If I tell u my phosphate at 5ppm I'm sure u will faint. Hahaha Anyway I'm lowering it using massive water change, caribsea phos remover and bio-sphere. The last reading is 1.2ppm. I have also removed my sump DSB and siphoning out my shallow sand bed. Will be putting a lot of wave maker to make sure debris are suspended. If all these still don't work u will see my post on decomm sales. Hehehe

I think you can consider slowly dosing Iron supplements if cheatos not growing. But dose it with small amount first as it would enhance the growth of any algae in the tank or refugium. I suggest 2 brands I know of... Microbe-Lift Chelated Iron and Brightwell Ferrion. As a bonus this also are said to enhance coral colours.

My DSB was external inside the sump. It was around 6 inches. Took 2 toyoga tub to get them out. My tank has shallow sand bed. Also one toyogo tub. 1" is not DSB lah. Hehehe. U siphon out your sand bed or just do siphoning to clean the sand bed?
